Of Course Obama’s Amnesty Was Going To Cause A Massive Spike In Illegal Immigration

By Michael Snyder, on June 9th, 2014

Some of us tried to warn that this would happen. When you create incentives for people to come to the United States illegally, of course that is exactly what they are going to do. In recent months, many political observers have breathlessly been watching to see if “amnesty” for illegal immigrants will get through Congress. But as you will see below, the truth is that Barack Obama has already created a de facto policy of amnesty for most illegal immigrants, and word about it has spread quickly throughout Mexico, central America and South America. If you are an illegal immigrant living in America and you haven’t been convicted of a crime, you are probably going to get to stay. And if you would like to illegally immigrate to the United States, if you get blocked from entering a few times it is not that big of a deal. You just keep trying until you finally get in. And once you are successful, there are a whole host of “goodies” that you can sign up for – especially if you go to one of the “sanctuary cities” that Obama steadfastly refuses to crack down on. In fact, the federal government actually has a website that instructs immigrants how to sign up for welfare programs once they arrive in the United States, and the Obama administration has actually distributed flyers that inform illegal immigrants that their immigration status will not be checked when they apply for food stamps. So we shouldn’t be surprised at the massive influx of illegal immigrants that we are experiencing right now. This is a problem of our own creation.

Central Americans say news reports in their countries are encouraging them to make the journey north to the United States.

A mother and child told CHANNEL 5 NEWS that the message being disseminated in their country is, “go to America with your child, you won’t be turned away.“

The people that are coming here illegally know what the score is.

They know that the Obama administration has basically no interest in enforcing the immigration laws.

As I mentioned above, Obama has already implemented a de facto policy of amnesty. He has instructed officials to prioritize deportation cases that involve convicted criminals and to throw most of the rest out. It is a form of “backdoor amnesty” that never received the approval of Congress. This is something that I discussed in a previous article…

Government officials have now been given a list of 19 factors to use when deciding whether to use “prosecutorial discretion” in deportation cases.

Essentially, what is going to happen now is that illegal immigrants are going to get to stay in the United States if any of the following apply….

-arrival in the U.S. as a young child

-actively “pursuing an education”

-serving or served in the U.S. military

-spouse of someone in the U.S. military

-18 years old or younger

-“elderly”

-pregnant or nursing

-victim of a “serious crime”

-serious disability or health problem

-caring for a family member with a serious disability or health problem

As you can see, these categories are so broad that almost all illegal immigrants will be able to fit into at least one of them.

And another Obama administration policy that allows minors that came to the U.S. as illegal immigrants to avoid deportation for two years has caused a massive influx of unaccompanied minors to illegally cross our borders…

Obama instituted an immigration policy that the GOP says enticed tens of thousands of Central American children to cross America’s southern border illegally without any parents to guide them.

More than 33,000 have been picked up in Texas alone since October. The U.S. border patrol says its forces are overwhelmed, and the courts are bracing for a flood of immigration cases from children held in temporary detention facilities designed to handle a fraction of the numbers. Sanitation problems are beginning to rear their ugly heads.

Obama rolled out a controversial Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in 2012, allowing many illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as minors to escape deportation for two years. The White House gave them another two-year window last week.

In fact, it is being reported that twelve times as many kids are now crossing our borders illegally compared to the time period before Obama implemented this policy.

When border patrol agents round these kids up, they are shipped off to massively overcrowded holding centers where they often sleep on plastic cots without any blankets or pillows…

Mattresses, portable toilets and showers were brought in Saturday for 700 unaccompanied minors who spent the night sleeping on plastic cots inside an Arizona warehouse, a federal official said.

A Homeland Security official told The Associated Press that about 2,000 mattresses have been ordered to the makeshift holding center — a warehouse that has not been used to house people in years.

And the influx of illegal immigrants has been so great in Texas that federal officials are now often just putting them on buses and planes and “dumping” them in other states. When Arizona Governor Jan Brewer found out about this, she was absolutely outraged…

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said Friday she is “disturbed and outraged” after she was informed by federal officials that not only has the government been shipping illegal immigrants out of Texas and “dumping” them in her state, it has no plans to stop.

Federal officials told Brewer Friday that the practice will continue for the foreseeable future, and this weekend more than 1,000 illegal immigrant children will be “dumped” in Arizona. Adults and family units will also arrive, though Brewer was not told how many, her office said.

The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) revealed to Breitbart Texas that the San Diego Sector of the U.S. Border Patrol is making plans to receive, process, and then release 500 illegal aliens into the U.S. per week who were shipped in from Texas, specifically from the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol Sector.

The specifics of how the illegal aliens are transported in unclear at this time, however, recently some have been flown at the tax-payers expense and some have been transported on buses.

So what do you think is going to happen to those illegal immigrants?

Do you think that they will dutifully report to immigration officials?

Perhaps a few will, but most of them will end up “disappearing” into their new communities.

Meanwhile, the Obama administration continues to castrate the border patrol.

While other federal agencies are being armed with machine guns and cutting edge weaponry, our border patrol agents are being given pepper spray and pellet guns.

And under one new policy, border patrol agents are instructed to run away and hide when illegal immigrants throw rocks at them…

The 21,000 Border Patrol agents that we now have are now being forced to retreat if illegals are throwing rocks at them and are no longer allowed to block drug smugglers paths as they try to make it into America with their shipment under the new directions from top administration officials.

From now on the agents must keep their weapons holstered as the vehicles drive by since the instructions state that they can’t use their weapons against “a moving vehicle merely fleeing from agents.”

The new rules that were signed by Michael Fisher, Chief of U.S. Border Patrol, force agents to flee when in harms way rather than defend themselves, saying “Agents shall not discharge firearms in response to thrown or hurled projectiles… agents should obtain a tactical advantage in these situations, such as seeking cover or distancing themselves.”

At this point why do we even have a border patrol at all?

It is obvious that the federal government could not care less about who comes into this country.

But the truth is that we all should care deeply about this issue, because it is having a huge impact on this nation.

According to the FBI, there are now approximately 1.4 million gang members living in our cities and a substantial percentage of them are illegal immigrants.

It has also been estimated that illegal immigrants now make up approximately 30 percent of the total population in federal, state and local prisons.

In addition, according to the Justice Department’s National Drug Intelligence Center, Mexican drug cartels were actively operating in 50 different U.S. cities in 2006 but that number had skyrocketed to 1,286 by 2010.

And it is not just increased crime that we need to worry about.

It has been reported that one out of every five children living in Los Angeles County has a parent that is in this country illegally, and57 percent of all households in the U.S. that are led by an immigrant (legal or illegal) are enrolled in at least one welfare program.

In the end, I am certainly not against legal immigration. On both sides of my family, my great-grandparents were immigrants. The United States is a nation of immigrants, and we will always need legal immigration.

But as it stands right now, we have made legal immigration an absolute nightmare while keeping the backdoor wide open for gang members, drug dealers, serial criminals and welfare parasites.

We have created incentives for tens of millions of people to come storming into this country illegally, and in the end we are going to pay a great price for that.

What do you do when the head of the country refuses to obey the law? I suggest that you remove him from office with articles of impeachment.
But what if it is more complicated than just one issue of law?
What if both Houses of Congress refuse to act?
What if the courts are conflicted in the illegal activities?
Or what if they are all afraid to act in the manner they swore to uphold when they were elected?
If someone had written this up in a book of fiction years ago, no one would have believed it.
Yet here we stand.
What if the President was technically guilty of a felony?
What if he had a false social security number? And a court says he has to answer one way or another on it?

What if there was a question of citizenship?
What if he boldly lied to Congress about a number of things.
Like the Health Care act is not a tax.

How can a court rule it is a tax and not rule to send it back to Congress for a revote since it was represented as not a tax?
Isn’t that legally fraud?

Like our people told to stand down while an ambassador and two others were killed.
Like opening the doors to this country for a huge number of people without jobs or prospects of being employed.
Like having children imported into the country with no parents to supervise them?
Like illegally negotiationing with our enemies without Congressional oversight.
Congress: When is enough, enough?

What all of your questions add up to is that you are just a racist! Just kidding :) Yes, you bring up very good points. He has broken far too many laws and used the Constitution (that he swore to uphold, by the way!) for his own personal toilet paper. What else does our “Emperor” have to do to get the boot? I’m as confused as you are.

I do not know how anyone can not see, it is all part of the plan. Step by step, the economy is being destroyed. Every action D.C. takes, just makes things worse. The citizens are being pressured on all sides. More and more are breaking mentally, with each passing day. They pass more laws and restrictions each day. And then pick and choose, which ones they will enforce. This is not my America anymore. I am an old man, so I will not have to put up with this, much longer. But what about the rest of you? Those of you who have 40 or more years in front of you. Is this the kind of Country you want to live in?

MichaelfromTheEconomicCollapse

Sadly, I don’t think that anyone should count on having another 40 years ahead of them. :(

Good point.

That’s really depressing, Michael.

I’m fleeing the UK. I kinda assume I won’t see age 60, and quite possibly I won’t see 50.

You don’t understand how bad it is for some.

Kristen Marie Embler

I don’t even know about me possibly making it to thirty.

Renaissance Girl

I think that a lot of people just don’t want to see reality for what it is. Pathetic and pitiful? Yes.

I was sitting outside thinking about this right before I read the article. Here’s what I foresee. I’m an old white guy, but I have an extensive relationship with the Hispanic community where I live. The Hispanic community is not properly characterized as being here to sponge off America. More typically, Hispanics work hard and exhibit traditional American values.

Jobs most typical for illegal Hispanic immigrants are construction, food service, and landscaping. Those three economic divisions are the economic backbone of the immigrant community. When this system crashes for an extended time, and those three pillars crumble, as they will, we’re going to see a mass self-deportation of this population. If the options here are starting to look a lot like those they had in Mexico, for example, then at least in Mexico they’re legal, and they speak the language.

The interesting thing about such a potential exodus is the vacuum it would leave behind.

Renaissance Girl

That’s a stereotype (regarding Hispanics or more accurately Latinos
being hardworkers). A lot of us are, but not as many as you think. I’m
sick and tired of hearing that crap about the Hispanic community being
hard workers. Just stop it already. And in Mexico, things are really
really bad (gang violence, drugs).

Abdi

Micheal, Obama will give Criminals amnesty too, dont you know that ? he released 36,000 criminal illegal aliens with 88,000 convictions this year

MichaelfromTheEconomicCollapse

Very good point Abdi.

And this issue (illegal immigration) is something that I am going to be closely monitoring on The Most Important News…

I really believe that this country will experience an economic collapse that will make the Great Depression seem like a minor road bump. Once that happens, you will see migration back towards Mexico as that country will be in much better shape.

“This is a problem of our own creation.”

Bull(um)Dookie!

I had no hand in this problem, and I’m pretty sure that more than 75% of the nation had no say in it either.

This is a problem created by our fascist state that demands cheaper labor at the expense of an increasingly cannon-fodder citizenry.

Labels are put on objectors (racist, bigot, white supremeist) and snobbish platitudes are televised on our never ending propaganda networks.

This is in-your-face proof that your vote no longer matters, you have absolutely no representation in government, and that our government no longer observes any section, paragraph or article of the Constitution. To them it’s just another contract like the ones GM bondholders used to hold.

All they have to do is continue to serve those that own them…even if it means destroying you.

DownWithLibs

It’s definitely “circle the wagons” time!

Undecider

“Americans” (people of the USA) should work together to do a swap. We’ll trade for a sizable landmass below Mexico. They can all come up here and we’ll go down there. We’ll have our Constitution and Bills Rights (freedom of speech, guns, privacy and respect), seeds, livestock, technology and jobs. The immigrants from the south can have all the socialism and ObamaCare.

All we need is something the size of all of Central America. They can have the remainder of what’s up here. It’s a free trade. We can even shake hands as we pass one another along the way. All we ask is that they don’t come back.

Some of the illegals have tons and tons and tons of kids and thrown them on welfare.

Our country has corporately abandoned God a long time ago. Although God is patient and long suffering, at some point He has to judge because of His character and He is perfect righteousness and justice. Often He will use the wicked to be His rod of judgement, which I believe is what’s happening here. You can’t remove what God has put in place.

Before Obama leaves office, we could become a third
world dumping ground if things get worse which seems
to be from what i see with my own Eagle eyes!

Renaissance Girl

Wake UP! We already are a “third world” country. We’re broke! You must be new to this site. Otherwise, I don’t know why you’re saying that. Our economy sucks!

PapaBear1130

He is so desparate for votes in November.

Renaissance Girl

Uh, this is his second and final term. The votes aren’t going to matter, dude.

“So what do you think is going to happen to those illegal immigrants?”

If Obama can swing voting rights for them, they’ll return all of his generosity (courtesy of our tax dollars) by voting Democratic for all eternity. They’ll make one hell of a voting block.

A. Crusader

They should all be sent to Washington, and have them camp out on the White house lawn. Then obama can spread his 750k a year combined income around. In fact, it should be a law that all illegals be sent there.

Kent Harris

Our leaders should be tried for treason. If found guilty they should be put in front of a firing squad.

Arizona

BREWERS an IDIOT, just like all the morons running arizona,HER and her friends have destroyed arizona,and the idiots who still live there keep voting in idiots year after year,JOHN Mc CAIN is from arizona,hes a commie and TRAITOR from way back,THE entire state is over run with california rejects,queers and fagots,child molesters, abound everywhere in arizona,the entire state is a cesspool of garbage,IT didn’t used to be that way,BUT IT IS NOW,and its the illegal aliens I feel sorry for,they have no idea what a demon infested place oboozo has dumped them…………

MrD

Maybe this will be considered racist,but I actually believe that the people that are really in trouble are white.He has done everything possible to widen the racial divide.Years of hard work to unite have been destroyed in five.One has only to look at Holders refusal to prosecute the NBP,the knock out game hoods,and his and Jarrett’s plan to get even,as Sharpton and Jackson roll out the reparation card again.The primary people whose guns he wants are white rural folks,as Chicago illegal guns remain on the streets even though for now it’s blacks killing blacks but once he declares his intentions openly,they will move into the white neighborhoods,and the young brown shirts are going to start showing up everywhere.
